Yes definitely use birth control. Unless you WANT to get pregnant. It took me a year to get my period back after I delivered my daughter, and yes I was still breastfeeding. The hormones took a long time to regulate, but I always used back up protection, because like Michelle said, you can ovulate at any time. I didn't want to take the chance.

Of course you should use birth control if you don't want to fall pregnant! You don't need your period to fall pregnant, you need to ovulate and that can happen without a period. Your doctor should have explained that to you!
